A distinctive hybrid of Anth. magnificum and Anth. pinkleyi, offering an elegant accent for a tropical plant collection. A sheltered, humid growing space allows its developing foliage to unfold freely.
-
Light: Bright, indirect light. An east-facing window or a position behind a sheer curtain is suitable; avoid harsh midday sun.
-
Temperature: Warm-growing; maintain 68–82°F (20–28°C). Protect from cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.
-
Humidity: Aim for 60–80% humidity with gentle air circulation to support healthy new growth.
-
Watering: Water thoroughly when the upper layer of the mix begins to dry, then allow excess water to drain completely. Keep the root zone lightly moist without prolonged saturation or dryness.
-
Growth Habit: Upright, short-stemmed growth suited to container cultivation. A moss pole is not essential for a compact plant; provide support if the stem elongates and aerial roots develop.
Additional Notes:
Elongated, heart-shaped green leaves display softly contrasting pale veins and lighter undersides, with reddish tones along some petioles. Use a chunky, well-aerated aroid mix and leave space around emerging leaves. Leaf proportions and vein contrast may vary among individual plants.
